Missing support for Georgian uppercase characters

[Alan]

Georgian uppercase letters are encoded in Unicode 11 (2018), but there are no fonts in Ubuntu that can display these characters.

Version info:
Ubuntu 21.04

To reproduce:
1. add Georgian keyboard layout
2. open any text editor
3. type Georgian letters, then change them to uppercase

Expected:
Readable text

Actual result:
Shows squares

Some other Linux distributions switched to Google-Noto-Georgian, which covers all Georgian characters. Can it be used in Ubuntu too?

It's the same situation with Ubuntu 21.10, see attached screenshot.

Any updates? It's planned to re-enable CSS uppercasing for Georgian

The problem still persist in Ubuntu 22.04. Should I file a new issue?
